First The Boondocks by Aaron McGruder for April 19, 1999

lol Riley is dumb.

Riley is the man!

riley is just who makes boondocks boomdocks…. i lov him, cracks my ribs

Riley is my clone…at 13 years old.

Wow, this comic started on my fourth birthday, maybe that’s why I love it so much…

Never knew the Boondocks’ first strip feels the first strip of the great ones. A short but funny intro into the two main characters, Riley and Huey, and the setting of the story, Suburbia. Who’da thunk that it would literally become too popular for Aaron to keep on the print pages?

I always wondered how the Boondocks started off, but after reading this I’m actually pretty statisfied

This is his first strip as far as national newspaper debut is concerned. Apparently he did some in college, and in The Source magazine. I’d like to see those one day.

man this is da best

Best comic ever!

This was a really good comic. I miss it. And wow. I can’t get over how much Aaron’s art has improved from the first strip to the last one

I remember reading this comic when I was about 11 years old. I couldn’t believe that it had made it into a show on Adult Swim. Go Boondocks!

i luv this!!! saw the cartoon for the first time last week & laughed til i was sick!!! will be back 4 more!

AWESSOOMMMEME

I love th show now I get to see how it all started.

asome very funny

I love Riley!

It sucks how Aaron is not involved with The Boondocks anymore )’:

They must be in Obama’s neighborhood.

Yeah, the work of a great, capable and insightful artist. I finally had enough sense to read the beginning….loves me some Boondocks comics….I can run amuck without fear….! a motto for a life!

loving it

What’s your favorite scene from the show?

Riley is a boss

I love the comic strips much like the shows
